Progressive as a novice, KLITSCHKO shaped with a good deal of promise when third on return/handicap debut at Lingfield back in November and, with the prospect of more to come, he earns the vote to come out on top. Donnacha brings some solid handicap form from Cheltenham to the table and he's a serious threat, with Koenigsstern and Sextant another pair to note.
